E192 The Two Ways Still Stand

The Didache reads like a first-century field manual for Christians who actually expected to live what they believed. In part two, we talk Eucharist as communal fuel for mission, confession as freedom (not groveling), and why early church leadership looks a lot more “traveling + local” than modern church folks assume. We also land on the Didache’s blunt end-times tone, and the unsettling line about sheep turning into wolves when power and religiosity mix.
